Description

GUBI’s Tynell 9602 floor lamp was created by Finnish lighting designer Paavo Tynell, who designed this delicate masterpiece back in 1935 for the Hotel Aulanko in Hämeenlinna. The 9602 lamp, also known as the Chinese Hat, features a wide, conical shade inspired by traditional Asian sun hats and hand-pleated from bamboo slats, and a slender rattan-covered stem, elegantly complemented by brass accents on the base as well as on top of the lampshade. The 9602 lamp exudes a gentle and invitingly warm light, showcasing Tynell’s remarkable ability to play with the artistic dimensions of light and balance various elements harmoniously.

Originally produced by the Finnish company Oy Taito Ab, the luminaire is now part of the Paavo Tynell collection under the Danish design brand GUBI.

Paavo Tynell

Paavo Tynell (1890-1973) is one of the best-known Finnish lighting designers, and his work has had a great influence on modern lighting design also internationally. Tynell started his career as a blacksmith and studied at the Helsinki University of Industrial Arts, where he continued as a teacher. In 1918, Tynell co-founded the metalwork and lighting company Oy Taito Ab, and worked as the company’s CEO and chief designer until 1953. In the 1930s and 1940s he designed lighting for various public spaces, such as Helsinki’s Parliament House and the office of the Secretary-General of the United Nations.

Tynell’s designs merge together simple and decorative shapes as well as sculptural and natural elements. The lamps are often made of brass and decorated with perforated patterns. Tynell collaborated with notable Finnish architects including Alvar Aalto, and participated in the lighting design of Aalto’s buildings such as the Paimio Sanatorium, Helsinki’s Savoy Restaurant and Viipuri Library. He also gained success in America, where his customers included private homes, lighting manufacturers and New York’s Finland House. During his career Tynell was awarded at the 1929 Barcelona World Fair and 1933 Milan Triennale, and in 1951 he received the first prize at the Good Design Awards.

Today, Tynell’s original designs are collector’s items that reach high prices in auctions. In 2018, the Danish design brand Gubi relaunched a long-awaited collection of Tynell’s designs.
